It's often said that life is a teacher and we learn everyday from life's experiences.
Some other people say that life is worth living so we should live it to the fullest. So many of us have one belief or the other about life and we make different quotes about life which shows that we all love life and want to live a fulfilled life
Sometimes however, the way we live our life doesn't correspond with things we say about life and the reality on ground.
There are three categories of people living in this world and each category exhibit a unique way of life which affects the general outcome of their life directly or indirectly
The first category are the people that live life of regrets; they met difficulties and challenges in the past which they allowed taint their narrative and perspecurve about life generally.
Those that live life of regrets hardly have full confidence in the present and the possibility of things turning around for Good, they so hold unto their ugly past that the past seem to repeat itself in the present and they mostly end up miserable and always regretting
The second category is the people that live life in fear; fear of uncertainties, fear of death, fear of the unknown etc. They are just so anxious
This set of people end up missing so many opportunities that could have changed their lives for good just because they're scare of trying out new things and opportunities because they're not sure of the outcome
The last but not the least category, which is also the title of this post is the people that live in the now or in the present.
These set of people have already known and accepted the fact that the future is uncertain but they try new things anyways, they know that the present is all they have at the moment so they take each moment as it comes
They also had bad and negative experiences in the past but they leave it in the past wherr it rightly belongs knowing that the present is different and can be much better than the past
Holding unto the past is like tying a rope around your neck to a tree while struggling to move forward. This is totally impossible unless you carry the tree along which is even more impossible. The only way to move forward is to untie the rope
And for those living in fear, we have to face reality and the present. If we keep focusing on the uncertain future we will never see the good things in the present neither can we be able to enjoy them
We should also know that we can hardly focus and do things right when we think too much of the future
The best approach to life is to live in the present and live it in it's fullness while planning for the future
Learn from the past and let it go, hope for the best future and also prepare for the worst that can happen so you're not taken by surprise
LIFE IS SO BEAUTIFUL, LIVE IT!
